Rajapatni.com: Surabaya (8/11/24) – Starting from a statement from a friend who said: “Bought fried chicken in Jakarta, brought it to Mumbai, then continued to State Hyderabad 😂”, then continued to a literary search. This statement indeed leads to curiousity because of the mention of the name “Hyderabad State”.
State Hyderabad in the country of India makes people curious. From researching several sources, they stated that the State of Hyderabad used to be a region that was once a princedom, which existed from 1724 to 1948 before being annexed by India in September 1948, at which point the State of Hyderabad became part of India.
At that time (1724-1948), Hyderabad was the largest and most prosperous state among the princedoms in India. Hyderabad State during that period was controlled by the Asaf Jahi dynasty after defeating the Mughal Empire in 1724.
The Mughal Empire began to control this area in 1860. However, it was defeated by the Asaf Jahi dynasty in 1724.
Since 1724 the State of Hyderābād was controlled by a ruler, whose title was Nizam-al-Mulk. The country of Hyderabad is located in the south-central region of the Indian continent and is the largest princesom in India whose capital was Hyderabad.
However, at a certain period of time, before Hyderabad, the capital was in Aurangabad (1724-1763), which is now in Maharashtra, India and then in Hyderabad (1763-1948), now in Telangana, India.
Then in 1798, Hyderabad handed over its foreign affairs completely to the British East India Company, so that since then the State of Hyderabad became one of the British princely states in India.
Then in 1947, when in the midst of the partition of India, Britain gave the imperial states, including the State of Hyderabad, the choice of whether to join India or Pakistan, or remain independent. There iwaa no definite answer yet.
When there was no answer and at that time India was afraid of the existence of an independent country in the midst of India. If Hyderabad became an independent country.
During the period from 1947 to 1948 there was a status quo. So in September 1948 the Indian government carried out Operation Polo to force Hyderabad to become part of India.
Within five days, the state of Hyderabad fell and finally this country became part of India to this day. Hyderabad is the capital of Telangana state
Furthermore, the city of Hyderabad is famous as the fifth largest city in India. Because it is located in the middle of the Indian continent, this city is commonly said to be the place where North Indian and South Indian cultures meet.
Pallava script – Telugu – Old Javanese
Hyderabad is an ancient City and rich in civilization. This city is a forum and meeting point for North and South and one of these civilizations is Aksara (script).
North India is famous for its Devanagari script. Meanwhile, South India is famous for its Pallava script.
Meanwhile, India’s national script is the Devanagari script, which is used to write Hindi. The Devanagari script originates from northern India and is a derivative of the Brahmi script.
Apart from the Devanagari script, there are several other scripts used in India, including the Pallava script. This is also derived from Devanagari.
This script, which originates from southern India, is the beginning of the Indonesian script. One of them is the Old Javanese Script (Kawi).
In South India, the Pallava script is no longer used now but its derivative, called the Telugu script, is its successor. The Telugu script is used to write Telugu ( తెలుగు లిపి) and Sanskrit, found in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Meanwhile, one of the derivatives of the Pallava script in Nusantara (now Indonesia) is the Old Javanese script or Kawi. Physically, the Pallawa, Telugu and Old Javanese (Kawi) scripts have similar strokes. The Honorary Consul of India in Surabaya, Manoj Bhat, confirmed that there are similarities in form between the Pallawa script, Telugu and Old Javanese. (PAR/nng)
